Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Opens 'Smart Library' at Ssangam Neighborhood Park

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangsan District, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Kim Samho) announced on the 30th that it has established a ‘Smart Library’ with an unmanned automated borrowing and returning system at Ssangam Neighborhood Park and held an opening ceremony on the 29th, officially starting its operation.

The Smart Library, installed next to the Byeolbam Art Museum within Ssangam Neighborhood Park, is equipped with a 365-day unmanned automated borrowing and returning system.

It was created as a cultural facility space shaped like a book to help residents feel familiar with reading, and any citizen who wants contactless book borrowing service can freely use it anytime.

Gwangsan District has established a total of nine Smart Libraries, including two opened in 2019 (Sinchang and Songjeong Parks), six opened last year (Cheomdan, Suwan, Gwangsan District Office, Pyeongdong, Hanam, and Wolgok), and now one at Ssangam Park. This is the largest number among autonomous districts in Gwangju.
